Chapter 4: Precepts Die Hard, Don’t Make Any Opinions
In mid-March, the Arctic Circle is still in the polar night. However, before long, the eternal night will eventually pass, and the Arctic will usher in the same long and difficult polar day.
The closer you get to the pole, the more obvious the meteorological and climate characteristics of the polar region are. There are 6 months of polar day and 6 months of polar night. Here, there is only one day and one night in a year.
"A day in heaven is a year on earth." This sentence is correct. The palace of heaven is here.
The living environment in the Arctic region is very monotonous and boring. It is covered with snow all year round and there are no obvious seasonal changes. You can only see the changes of plant germination, growth, flowering and fruiting in the celestial palace.
During the long nights of winter, most of the fairies stationed in the North Pole mainly engage in indoor activities. Of course, there will definitely be many restless guys who choose to sneak out to travel and have fun. As long as you don’t go too far and don’t leave for too long, even People in the supervision department usually choose to turn a blind eye.
The work here is relatively leisurely, suitable for immortals who "do not seek advancement". Apart from daily inspections and maintenance of the heavenly palace, there is really nothing to do, and there is no need to feed the Honkai beasts.
However, the Supervision Department still catches a few unlucky people who go out for fun every year to "kill chickens and scare monkeys." The Supervision Department in the Arctic region also needs to improve its performance! The performance cannot be far behind the supervision departments of other regions.
Heavenly Palace,
An indoor heated swimming pool.
Wutong was wearing a pair of white wide swimming trunks, lying on the water, floating and playing with her mobile phone.
He was the only one in the vast and quiet swimming pool, which was empty and deserted.
Wutong didn't want to rent out this swimming pool, even if it was only for 24 hours, it would cost a lot, but since he wanted to swim here, he had to rent it out.
Before, every time he showed up at the swimming pool, there would be a large group of little girls with ill intentions or even no interest in swimming. They would come and wander around in front of his eyes wearing cooler swimsuits. There were also a few comparisons. A bold girl will use some "strategies" to get close to him, talk to him, and even try to take advantage of him, which often annoys him endlessly.
Over time, Wutong rarely went to public places to have fun. Even if he did show up, he would book the venue in advance to entertain himself or with relatives and friends.
Just when Wutong put his mobile phone on the tray and was about to swim around, Aponya opened the door of the swimming pool and walked in with small steps.
Wutong was slightly disappointed to see that Aponya was still wearing a relatively simple and strict nun's uniform without a swimsuit.
"Come down and play for a while?" Wutong suggested.
Aponya shook his head and whispered softly: "No, although I can't see your heart, I can roughly guess what you are thinking."
Aponya's words were relatively tactful and did not directly point out Wutong's bad intentions.
"Guesses are often the most unreliable. You have been with sinful people for too long, and your soul has been polluted by them, so you will think that my thoughts are dirty. If you look at things with dirty eyes, you will naturally feel that everything is dirty. "
"Well... you're right. Sorry, I'm trying to save others by myself."
Aponya pondered for a moment, bowed deeply to express her apology, and then she said softly and slowly: "Your thoughts may be more evil than anyone I have ever seen, and I should not be overestimated." , to think about.”
"..."
"Haha, guess what I'm thinking about now?" Wutong asked.
"Sorry, I don't want to know."
"Looking at Jia Rui from the high rolling curtain, the white clouds are smashed into pieces, and the plain grass is cold and the jade pendant grows."
"?"
Aponya didn't quite understand. She wasn't very interested in Chinese poetry. This poem seemed to describe the snow scene. Could it be that...Wu Tong wanted to go out for a walk?
Wutong floated out of the swimming pool, wiped off the water droplets on his body, put on a white coat, then bought two boxes of ice cream from the vending machine not far away, and threw one box to Aponya.
"Xiao Xilin is resting?"
"Well, thank you." Aponya said, taking the ice cream. "She was tired from playing and fell asleep."
"How does it feel to be a mother?" Wutong sat on the recliner and opened the ice cream box.
Little Siren has known many mothers. In addition to her biological mother, she also has Mother Moran, Mother Aponnia, Mother Eden, Mother Cecilia, Mother Siegfried...
Except for Cecilia, everyone else is a particularly mature-looking woman.
I don’t know why Siren longs for maternal love so much. It may be due to the lack of father’s love. She is only 14 years old this year, and Cecilia is actually only ten years older than her.
"No feeling... Hmm... Siren is cute."
"Okay, that's right. Although you don't have children, I guess you are used to the role of 'mother'. It's really hard for you to take care of so many people every day." Wutong scooped up the ice cream with a wooden spoon and said, "You sit down Ah, don’t stand all the time.”
"Thank you, I'm not tired."
"But I'm tired. You're already tall, and I have to hold my head up to talk to you."
"You don't have to look at me."
Even though Aponya is very gentle and never speaks loudly, but regardless of the big things, it can always be seen from some small things that she is a bit stubborn person and occasionally cheats.
"Okay, why do you have time to come see me today?"
"Did you do it?"
"What?"
"Did you turn Sirin into a Herrscher?"
Wutong chuckled: "Oh,
Please, can you please stop thinking of me whenever something bad happens? Am I that kind of person? Who would have thought that Siren's mind was so fragile that she could not accept it and turned into a Herrscher after entering the illusion for the first time? "
Aponya said softly: "Many people can think of it, including you and me, but no one stops it.
"I'm sorry, I'm not blaming you, and I'm not qualified to blame you.
"I had predicted in advance that Xiao Xilin would become a Herrscher, but I did not stop her and Jizi from sneaking into the illusion. I watched helplessly as they entered the illusion.
"I'm guilty.
"Come here, I just want to confirm, did you know that she entered the illusion?"
"Do you believe me when I say I don't know?"
"To be honest, I don't really believe it."
Wutong smiled and said: "But what I said is indeed the truth.
"I know that it is very easy for her to become a Herrscher, and I can roughly guess through which channels or accidents she will become a Herrscher, but I really don't know that she ran into the illusion at that time.
"Because I was very busy at the time, busy making the Herrscher of the Sky, and I was about to succeed, but this silly girl Siren messed up my experiment."
"The one who created the Herrscher of the Sky?"
Wutong said: "Well, I didn't plan to let Xilin become Konglu in the first place, even if she is extremely talented.
“I believe that many parents don’t want their children to become heroes or have a great future. What they may want is for their children to be safe and happy.
"I also believe that Siren's mother probably has this idea in her heart. These ordinary parents have different ideas from you and me, Aponya.
"The difference in concepts comes from their less profound understanding of Honkai. Their ideas may be a bit narrow-minded, short-sighted and selfish, but they are absolutely not wrong, and we have no right to interfere with their children's future."
"Feel sorry……"
Wutong interrupted: "You don't need to apologize to me. If you want to apologize, you should also apologize to Xilin and her mother.
“Of course, I’m not saying you are wrong, there is nothing wrong with making Siren stronger and more promising.
"I know that the choices you make for people must be right. You will not cheat anyone. The purpose is to make them better in the future. For this reason, you do not hesitate to help people who do not understand you and choose the path for them. Even more Don't be afraid of offending them.
"I can't judge whether your behavior is right or wrong, and sometimes right and wrong are not that important.
"I'm not as kind as you. You don't want to see others suffer, but I can. Therefore, I prefer to tell children the pros and cons and give them the power of choice, even if they are ignorant, ignorant of the importance and choose the wrong option.
"For her own good may not make her happy, and she may not be happy in the future.
“The right path in your eyes may not be interesting to others, but sometimes it can be interesting to take the wrong path.
"By the way, don't you know how to get me a glass of water? I've talked so much, I'm a bit discerning."
"..."
Aponya was silent for a moment and did not pour water for Wutong because the guy was eating ice cream.
She said slowly: "I understand everything you said. I'm not here to listen to you lecture me."
Wutong held the wooden stick in his mouth and said: "I know you understand, but I just want to give you a slap because I don't like what you do.
"It's a pity that when I say this to you, it doesn't seem to make you feel uncomfortable.
"Ha~ What a hopeless woman.
"As expected, only bad women can interest me. People like you are the most boring. You can see the future outcome at a glance.
"Hey... I have to save you for my father. It's really troublesome. Can't you change your behavior?"
"Feel sorry……"
"Okay, stop being 'sorry', you're not sincere at all."
Wutong waved his hand and said: "By the way, Xilin's companion Honkai Beast has been transported back. A judgment-level dragon-shaped Honkai Beast named Benares. After Xilin wakes up, you can take her Go take a look, that Honkai Beast is quite interesting, you’ll understand it when you see it.”
"Can I go see it now?"
"Of course, but there's no need to train her. She's quite well-behaved and won't hurt humans. Just don't let her escape."
Aponia nodded and said, "Can I ask you one last question?"
"Would you not ask if I said you couldn't?"
Aponia asked: "Is what you just said... what you created... really just the Herrscher of the Sky?"
"Haha, who knows?! It depends on her own choices. She may become a lazy waste, but maybe... she will be the end of the future." Wutong said with a smile, "I will provide a way. , but I don’t like making choices for others.”
